One&Only Reethi Rah Begins Vaccination Drive

Set in the Indian Ocean and surrounded by crystal blue waters lapping against pure white sandy beaches, One&Only Reethi Rah is an ideal destination for tourists visiting the island nation. As part of the Resorts health and safety procedures, they are happy to announce that they have begun the process of vaccinating their staff in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Health.

As of 19 February 2021, the Resort began the official vaccine drive offering all frontline colleagues the opportunity to receive their first dose. This process will continue until all colleagues that have requested to be vaccinated are vaccinated. Following the guidelines set by the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Tourism, the Resort hopes to vaccinate all colleagues when possible.

As one of the first resorts in the Maldives to being this process, they are looking to vaccinate as many of the front of house colleagues as possible and look forward to other resorts following suit.

As the world around us has changed and we learn to live in the new normal, I am delighted that our colleagues have the opportunity to protect themselves even more through this vaccination drive. I express my gratitude to the Ministry of Tourism, the Health Protection Agency and the Government of the Maldives for their continued support and fantastic approach to this pandemic.
Jan B. Tibaldi, General Manager at One&Only Reethi Rah.

Although we do not expect heroic stories to come out of a vacation at a Maldives resort, recent incidents have shown that anything can happen. Yes, even when you’re on vacation. The heroic stories of two couples, Mr. Jordan Daniel Van Dyk and Ms. Denielle De Bruyn have started circulating across the Maldives. The couple came to the Maldives for their honeymoon at the beautiful Dusit Thani Maldives. However, it appears that the honeymooners are leaving the Maldives with more than just honeymoon memories.

According to the Baa Atoll Police Station, on the 28th of April, the couple witnessed a staff member falling from a water villa deck into the ocean while on duty. If you’re ever stayed at a Maldives resort, you can understand the fear of falling from the deck into the ocean. Although the water below is beautiful, when caught off guard, the ocean can be a scary place. It appeared that the staff member was in a state of distress and was struggling in the water. In these situations, people do one of two things. Wait for someone else to take action as they stand by, or immediately jump in to avoid a sad situation.

Despite the challenging circumstances, Mr. Van Dyk and Ms. De Bruyn acted swiftly and courageously, coming to the aid of the drowning staff member. There is no doubt that this swift response by the couple was heroic, averting what could have been a tragic event at Dusit Thani Maldives.

Dusit Thani Maldives has acknowledged the bravery and swift action of the honeymooning couple, awarding them for their bravery in saving the staff member of the resort.
